Herrera leaves his minutes of councilor for the Almunecar City Council

Almunecar held an extraordinary plenary session, in which Trinidad Herrera resigned from her position as City Councilor after she was elected Andalusian Parliamentarian in the elections of June 19. This was the first plenary session since Trinidad Herrera's election as Juan Jose Ruiz Joya mayor.

The majority of participants agreed to extend the repayment terms of the loan for suppliers payment plans and management funds for local entities. This was in order to repay the debt of over 20 million euros owed to suppliers in 2011.

The final formalization of these loans means that all outstanding debts with suppliers (many of which are small and medium-sized businesses in the municipality) will be paid. The loans were later grouped in 2019. This will allow for an increase in the amortization period for the same loan from 10 to 20 year, as explained by Rafael Caballero, the mayor of Treasury.

This measure was initiated by the Central Government to relieve the City Council's debt. It is open to all local governments in the country. The vast majority of them will take advantage of it because the fiscal pressures and the hardships that city councils have to endure after two years are evident.

Francisco Fernandez (IU Podemos' spokesperson) stated previously that it was fair for the Central Government to be recognized with the municipal treasury. He enumerated all the measures he suggested, as well as those he proposed.

Rocio Palacios was the PSOE's spokesperson. He acknowledged that the Government of Spain had taken steps to improve the situation of councils. However, Palacios linked the agreement to extend term with the budget debt and stated that his formation would not support the proposal as it would increase the debt, despite fiscal pressure.

Rafael Caballero (mayor of the Treasury in Almunecar), recalled that the Sexta City Council had paid the first installment, just over 2.700,000.00 euros, on June 30. This amount could have been paid if there was still positive cash.

Grant PFEA

Another issue that was addressed during this plenary session was to account for the agreement by the Governing board on the request from the Sixth Consistory to include the projects in the regular PFEA 2022 program. Beatriz Gonzalez, who is the spokesperson and deputy mayor for Citizens, was responsible for accounting. He referred to the work that would be done in El Zahori, the municipality estate for which more 39,000 euros will have been allocated, and the rehabilitation and reform of El Majuelo playground with more than 204,000 euro.

"This improvement will be added to other playgrounds like Rio Verde and San Miguel La Carrera. Beatriz Gonzalez explained that this improvement will be complemented by the renovation of the kiosk at the venue, which will increase attention and service in that area.

A majority voted in favor of the proposal since CA "we didn't agree that it should be invested in playgrounds but that it only be used in agricultural issues," Maria Luisa Diaz spokeswoman for the aforementioned formation in the absence Juan Carlos Benavides.
